Following the untimely death of our son whilst reporting on the humanitarian tragedy unfolding
in Misrata, Libya, we have been comforted by the many messages of condolences and the tributes
to Tim, sent from every corner of the world.

Our thoughts at this time are also with the family of Tim's colleague, Chris Hondros, who sadly was killed in the same incident and with the other two photographers who were severely injured.

We hope this site will provide a suitable collection point for your views and be a conduit for messages to continue to reach us all. It humbles us to know that Tim touched so many people's lives in his chosen profession as well as throughout his life as a cherished son, brother, uncle, partner and a much loved friend.

DonationsTim's family are establishing the Tim Hetherington Foundation which will support struggling students, artists and those in need in this country and the developing world. The foundation will seek to encourage others to continue in Tim's footsteps, highlighting humanitarian and social concerns throughout the world.
